I need a pair of round, approx 5.2 mm stones for earrings. Anyone wanna help me shop or give me ideas? (please).

Earring settings are white gold martini stud posts.

I was thinking something in pink (more of a softer pink than a hot pink), really good amethyst, no reds or greens.

Thanks so much.

Sphene, zircon, pale pink spinel, Malaia garnet, morganite (will be super pale though and these are generally bigger stones), danburite (pink tint).

Thank you dear helpful & knowledgable, Chrono.

I'm thinking pale pink spinel. Any ideas on where to source?

Thanks so much.

I would ask Barry at ACS (acstones.com). His cutting is great, and pricing very reasonable.

I'd forgotten pink tourmalines too. Bob Kast facets amazing pink tourmaline rounds for the lowest pricing I've seen.

Ya'll are the best . I Adore Barry cuts (who doesn't?). Good point on Bob being great and having good prices. Another good point on the tourmaline, as pink spinel (although I love spinel) can often be bubblegum pink, which I think would be too young girlish for studs, perhaps.

xxxooo

So when I saw this, I hopped over to ebay quickly to see what I could find - nothing at this moment unfortunately

But I would check with colorful_gems and srilankamall as they are good sellers (the same) and they often have pairs for very good prices.

Nothing wrong with looking young girlish, is there?
